“Peanuts! Fr-r-raish peanuts!”

Who stirs the circumambient air

And moves his optics here and there

To find the man who cries: “Here, boy.

Give me one sack of roasted joy”?

“Peanuts! Fr-r-raish peanuts!”

Who hastens onward with his wares

While every individual glares

Who lacks the necessary price;

Who cuts a mighty slab of ice?
